Residential Sound Insulation Program

SFO has one of the most extensive home insulation programs in the nation. Dating from 1983, over 15,000 homes, 8 churches and 7 schools have been treated in six geographic areas: County of San Mateo, Daly City, Millbrae, Pacifica, San Bruno and South San Francisco. The total program expenditure now amounts to over $153 million. The program is administered directly by the local jurisdictions which decide in what order eligible properties will be treated. Methods include: first come first served, lottery, and noisiest first. Localities also determine whether or not to include public buildings, multi-family residential buildings and/or rental properties. In all cases, the program is funded through a combination of FAA and airport funds distributed through the airport. FAA guidelines set the standard for eligibility for federal funds as noise sensitive properties within the federally-approved 65 dB CNEL annual noise contour.
